Come and enjoy the excitement of Drag Racing either by watching or participating. We encourage new drivers and there are plenty of people to help you if you need information. Ample free parking for spectators. Generally if you are wanting to drive your street car in a meeting then its a matter of coming along to the track a bit earlier than the spectators and as long as you have some basic safety eg. long sleeves, long pants, helmet, wof and registration then you can race after getting a check from our staff and filling in an entry form.
PBDRC are always open to hear from anyone who wishes to race, this includes circuit racers as well
If you are bringing your children then you may want to include some ear protection as some of the cars can be loud for young ears. Animals, alcohol or smoking are not permitted in the pit area however you are welcome to browse the cars and talk to the drivers during the events. Be aware that some cars may have limited visibility in this area and it always up to you to give way to the cars. There are drinks and food available at the food caravan during all meetings.

Bikes always welcome
We are
always keen to see Motorcycles run and have some fun. The
Track is a great place to test your fast take offs and
control during high speed acceleration. Test and tune the
bike and your skills in a controlled environment, no hassle
speeding tickets galore :)4&Rotary South Island Champs announcement
Due to the devastating earthquakes that struck Christchurch last year and in February this year, 4 and
Rotary Promotions
regrets to announce that because of the damage sustained to
the TSB Arena we have had to postpone the 2012 South Island
Champs event.
However, we have in no way ruled out an event being held in
the South Island and are currently holding discussions with
numerous venues in the area. We'll be announcing the results
of these talks in the near future, and our thoughts are with
everyone affected by the earthquake and involved in the
re-building efforts.
